   We have a new “non-partisan” group in salt lake city called “obamas food angels” You have go to the democrats.org web site to get to them. But remember, they are “NON-PARTISAN”

   This is getting to be beyond a joke.

   The kids and I spent some time this morning viewing comparisons of the current Obama worship and the Hitler worship of the late 1930’s. I’m probably on some watch list now.

    Why is this necessary?

    Big Brother – The dictator of Oceania; believed to be based upon Joseph Stalin. However, as Winston Smith points out, he has never seen, nor remembers anyone else seeing Big Brother, and suggests that he never existed. This is also true of Emmanuel Goldstein, whom Winston Smith points out is, if real, definitely dead, but may have been created for propaganda purposes.

    But with these micro webcams they will know who is watching, who is suitably enthusiastic-first government employees, then the rest.

    Reinhard Heydrich
    “But will not they resist? There will be some, perhaps many. There is no shortage of hooks to hang them from, no shortage of wire to hang them with.”

    Has to be better than the Ministry of Love Torture Chamber.
    1984 or the Third Reich, or the USSR they will be watching the watchers. Be suitably enthusiastic. Will our Liberals and Progressives do well? The Great Purge (also known as the “Great Terror”) of 1930 answered that.

    Obama has enemies everywhere
    You must inform
    You Will inform

    FoundingFathers, got “1776″ on tape here. Good musical and entertaining though not at all accurate. Favorite song is that young soldier’s lament about dying. Maybe I’ll let the wife tune to the “gameshow channel”. It’s her favorite anyway.

    We actually got an email from the superintendent telling people not to make it a political rally, so I suppose my reactions to this spectacle would make it one and I would actually be insubordinate by watching.

    Buckle your seat belts because this is all just a dress rehearsal. Kids in NYC schools are being told now the U.S. has finally turned a page in its “conscience” and “humanity” and this presidency supersedes Apollo 11 in its effect on civilization. Incredible. Has anyone seen that commercial for the Obama memorial plate on Fox, remarking on his “compassionate smile and kind eyes”? I kid you not. Wonder how they commented on Bush/Reagan.

    Obama, the prez who can do no wrong because someone else caused it somewhere, somewhen.

    It’s not that sinister. The entire federal government (other than emergency services and inauguration-related) is off. Just a lot simpler and fair with some of the government having to be out of the way (everyone downtown, for example). Metro will probably be overwhelmed, but they seem to be making one heck of a good try to meet the requirements.

    Getting out of the area seems to be the best idea–and one that I am planning on doing. I haven’t liked massive crowds for a long time.
